You may view additional information for a map layer listed in the results window by selecting and clicking on the layer. In the example below the World Heritage Buffer Zone layer was selected.

Note: If an address search results in no findings a message saying “There were no results found for address…” will display below the search bar tool.

Parcel Search There are two ways to perform a parcel search from the Advanced Search tool. The first is to use a parcel (BCAD or CoSA) layer search. Alternatively, you may use the “By Shape” tab and perform a spatial query.

Parcel Layer Search From the Advanced Search tool select a parcel layer (BCAD or CoSA) from the “Select a Layer” drop down menu. In the example to the right, the CoSA layer was selected. After selecting the CoSA layer, enter either the parcel key, plat number, situs, or BCAD legal description. After entering information into one of those fields, click the search button to be taken to the location on the map. The result of your parcel search will also be displayed in tabular format below the map result. The parcel key was utilized in the example provided.

Parcel Search By Shape From the Advanced Search tool click on the “By Shape” tab. “Select a Layer” from the drop down menu. In the example to the right, the BCAD layer was selected. You may enter a buffer around your search results by entering a buffer in the Buffer fields.

Advanced Search by Shape The Advanced Search by Shape enables searches by layers with the use of drawing tools (points, polygons, lines, and freehand shapes), while including buffers to identify locations. Drawing tools are discussed further in the following section. Select a layer, enter a buffer if needed, and select a drawing tool feature to generate information according to the layer in the desired map area(s). Results of the search will be displayed on the map in a tabular form below the map. In the sample below, the Master Development Plans layer and the rectangle feature with a 10 feet buffer was used to perform a search on the map. Two resulting Master Development Plans were identified in the designated location as indicated by the polygons in the map and two rows of resulting data in the table.

Draw The Draw tool can be used to add points, circles, polygons, lines, and freehand shapes to the map. Any items you draw on the map can be printed without altering the map. The “Current Draw Mode” will display the tool selected. In the graphic below, the Circle tool has been selected. After you select a tool and move your cursor to the map, a small pop up window will appear providing instructions on how to use the tool. In the sample to the right, the circle tool instructions are provided.
